Case: Act-17 (Approved)
Description: This proposes amendments to the Cary Town Code, Land Development Ordinance, and Policy Statements required by recent legislation. In 2019, the General Assembly completely reorganized and updated the state statutes relating to planning, zoning, subdivision, building permits, minimum housing, historic preservation, and other related topics, placing them into a unified, new Chapter 160D of the N.C. General Statutes. ACT 17 amendments align Cary ordinances with Chapter 160D and also make a series of other technical amendments necessary to achieve legal compliance.
